I figured a list of abbreviations needed to be made for newbies. I know I struggled trying to figure out the meaning of abbreviations and especially since it's difficult to search on this forum if words are less than four letters. So if you look up a 3 letter abbreviation you can't find it through search. So I made a list comprised from other lists I found and some I just added.
Please feel free to add others for a complete list. Thanks.
